Do you know anything in the slightest that the whole betting public don't know or do you think they have overestimated/underestimated something? I don't want to be rude but saying they are playing in front of their own fans as a prelude to anything is a waste of words
I'm not claiming to know anything the general betting public don't know my initial claim was that at 4.0 I think they've been seriously underestimated. All we have to go on is last year's games and if we go on that Barcelona have a 100% record of qualification and 0% chance of winning at the Emirates.
If you want to know why I think they are value tonight then I'll point towards the facets that were missing last year. They have better strike options with van Persie and Chamakh (compared to Bendtner); Nasri is twice the player of last season and I think Wenger has had enough time (and is smart enough) to have devised a game plan to press Barca better.
For a team with so much class and talent Barcelona have not shown it in big away games (Champions League). Give me a choice of backing or laying 1.90 to beat a top EPL side then I'd lay every time!
